Best Answer

Malachi, the last of the Old Testament prophets, wrote the book bearing his name.

A:We do not really know the prophet who wrote the Book of Malachi, but there was no person called Malachi. The word 'Malachi', used in the title of the book, actually means 'messenger' and is based on its use in the text. The author was anonymous, so we know nothing about him.

Who was the prophet Malachi?

A:We do not know who the prophet 'Malachi' was - there was never a person actually called Malachi. The Book of Malachi was written anonymously, probably in the early post-Exilic period. Verses 3:1-4 refer to 'my messenger' (Hebrew: mal'aki) and it is this reference that gives the book its name: Malachi.ADDITION: Possibly there was no writer of the book of Malachi by the name of Malachi, but since all other prophetic books have historically identified their author in the introductory heading, this suggests that Malachi was indeed the name of the last OT writing prophet in Israel.Jewish tradition identifies him as a member of the Great Synagogue that collected and preserved the Scriptures.
